hello.
most probable what you are having might be a small lymph node which swells when you have a throat or ear infection or some sub acute infection.
this can also be a small neuron which on lay man terms mean swelling of nerve fibres.
in both the condition you don't need to do anything g and this shall resolve on its own.
please report if you have pain or the swelling increases in size or becomes red and tender.
take care.
